Who should attend?

Harbor Media exists to help Christians navigate a post-Christian world. Much has changed in our culture in the last decade, and Christians everywhere find themselves under increasing pressure to either conform or disappear from public. This event is for those seeking to answer questions like, "How are we to respond to these pressures? What does a life of faithful presence look like in a hostile world?" We want to wrestle with these questions, and we want to suggest a way forward.
